A disappointing season for the Calgary Flames concluded in an unexpected way on Wednesday.
“Definitely was hard to find emotions to play that game, for sure,” Zadorov said. “It's normal when you miss the playoffs, the last game, it sucks, it wasn't what we were expecting.”
Calgary finishes fifth in the Pacific with 93 points, a year after winning the division with 111 points. The Flames have missed the playoffs in nine of their last 14 seasons and made the post-season in consecutive years just once over that span.Making 23 stops for the Flames to win his NHL debut was 21-year-old Dustin Wolf, the Flames seventh-round pick in 2019.
Solid when called upon, one of Wolf's biggest stops came with five minutes remaining when he thwarted Logan Couture from 15 feet out after the Sharks' leading scorer was set up in the slot. Providing a partial screen on the play was right-winger Matt Coronato, who was also making his NHL debut. “It was great, it was a lot of fun,” said Coronato. “The guys made it fun, playing with Pelts and Naz was awesome. It's hard to put into words, but I definitely had a great time out there.”
